Creative images of people, places and things

Most of my images have a human touch: images of children and adults, emotions and relationships, work and leisure, travel and tourism, culture and concepts.

I travel quite a lot and have images from Europe, particularly Sweden, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Germany and the UK. My US images are from California, Death Valley, Utah and Las Vegas.

All images are available for immediate licensing for any reasonable purpose. Please understand that all images are copyright protected and that there is a fee for any use, but if you just want a photo for your personal blog, contact me. I am sure we can come to an agreement.

I am of course also open to any requests for photo assignments.
